Under the clear starlight at the end of April, on the top of the mountain near Luliang Mountain and Qingmu Village, there was a chaotic and messy scene.

Between the undulating low hills, the corpses spread forward along the field of vision, and on the grass, the occasional burning fire could be seen, beeping and beeping, illuminating the nearby corpses. The bloody breath attracted the wolves of the mountains, munching on something in the dark outlines, and sometimes staggering figures could be seen crawling out of the pile of corpses or in the grass, and the occasional moan could be heard in the night sky.

In the direction where Aoki Village is located, and in the opposite direction of Aoki Village, there is occasionally an unknown commotion sound in the mountains and forests, but this battlefield under the night seems to have been temporarily forgotten. The previous battle was like a sudden halluciation under the night sky, and after the illusion dissipated, the corpse of the illusion was left behind......

In fact...... It wasn't much of a war......

*************

For the battle that will take place outside Aoki Village, all parties involved, in a sense, have made a lot of preparations. Of course, on the side of the Luliang Thieves' Alliance, they prepared a large number of people, while in Qingmu Village, the whole preparation was longer and more perfect, but of course, in terms of numbers, it was definitely incomparable.

From Ning Yi's construction to Hongti, to the development and expansion of Qingmu Village, elite military training has always been a very important village business. There was a process of expansion and development of the stockade, and the number of soldiers available was gradually increased, of course. Whether it is training, morale, combat effectiveness, or even the materials that can be used for rationing, it is impossible to cover everything. Because the entire Qingmu Village is surviving in such an extreme place as Luliang Mountain, it is really mobilized, and eighty percent of the population can hold a knife, but there are more than 2,000 people who have been trained for a long time, and among the more than 2,000 people, 1,200 soldiers above the pyramid have been mobilized. Participated in the foreign battle that night.

And the remaining thousands of soldiers. Because it is impossible to defend the village, and at the same time prevent the madness of the Great Light Sect, the soldiers of the Wusheng Army, and the elite under Tian Hu. Therefore, with more than 1,200 people, a lineup of nearly 6,000 people united against the Lu Liang thieves. Theoretically. It's a bit risky. Before the start of the war, no one can say that there is much certainty about the outcome of the war. But of course. In the tense atmosphere of Qingmu Village for a few days, Hongti, Cao Qianyong, Han Jing and others still mobilized a lot of these soldiers.

This kind of ideological work, since the development of Aoki Village, has not stopped. In terms of the training methods that Ning Yi handed over to Hongti, there are some copies of the training of soldiers in later generations, and there are also some summaries of today's military books. In fact, most of the books in ancient times were concise and concise, and there were many reasons for this, such as the bulkiness of the bamboo slips, such as the simplicity before the full integration of various ideas, and the "sense of ritual" and "sublime" carried by the early stage of the development of writing, which required them to tend to be concise and even unclear.

For example, a sentence in the Tao Te Ching, "Heaven and earth are unkind to all things as dogs", if simplified to modern thought, it says that all things in heaven and earth can be regarded as ordinary elements, these elements operate under fixed rules, and never deviate from them by will, likes and dislikes, so when we understand things, the world, and society, we must recognize these laws clearly...... From this sentence, it is deduced that it contains a huge philosophical system. When Lao Tzu wrote this sentence, he not only included the most superficial cognition, but also included the deepest deduction, so he wrote a book and said that he could not only write the superficial level, but also the deep deduction was what he valued.

Similar to these classics, the ancients wrote military books, such as The Art of War, and each paragraph also has a system, which is like an outline, according to which it can be used in all situations. But of course, as a modern person, after experiencing countless ideological fusions, Ning Yi can still try to simplify them as a part of the direction, and in the end, he gave Hongti a proposal mainly in three aspects: discipline, back, and subjective initiative.

As for the details of how to transfer troops, how to ensure logistics, and whether to eat and live with the soldiers, he threw a few military books and asked Hongti to take them back for the mountain people to figure out for themselves.

A few immovable, iron-clad disciplines ensure that his subordinates can order and prohibit them. In various trainings, trusting that you have someone to protect you behind can increase your sense of community, and it also makes people trust each other more and believe in the hand of their comrades on the battlefield. As for subjective initiative, of course, it is morale, and it is also ideological work similar to brainwashing. These three points complement each other, in fact, there are similarities with the management company of later generations.

It is also for this reason that since the development of Qingmu Village, these three points have been done well, and the ideological work has come from several directions: remembering bitter and sweet; tell them what kind of enemy they are facing; Let them see the surrounding villages for themselves, which one is like Aoki Village; Let them discuss more, in case Aoki Village is breached, how everyone will transfer.

- The last one, which is discussed almost once a month among the soldiers. And then it will cause a chain reaction: it will make most people imagine what will happen to Aoki after the village is broken, and then they will be indignant, who the is going to beat us, and there will be people who will come and fight us so well that we are trained so well, who is capable of beating us.

Then the above will throw out the candidates: Liao people, Jin people, they are all likely to fight, of course, at this time the Liao people have been beaten out, but the Jin people are more powerful, imagine what it looked like to fight the grass valley before, they will definitely call, what will we do when the time comes, so we must think about it.

At this stage, some people will inevitably be depressed, and then the people above will sue them, making them think that even if they flee to other villages in Luliang Mountain, they will not be able to avoid this result. And then the conclusion can be easily drawn: only Aoki Village is the best. Next, it will give everyone a signal that such a good life and such a powerful training in Aoki Village will be aimed at dealing with Jin people in the future - that is the opponent!

After the ideological work reaches this point, everyone will begin to talk about the invincible history of the Jin people, that is, the Jurchens. These messages were all compiled and provided by Ning Yi, and they were also quite inflammatory. Then everyone will find that the situation of the Jurchens is actually similar to that of Lu Liangshan, they have also experienced a lot of hardship, they have also been bullied, they are also ruthless, they can't live, and they dare to work hard. And after they were unified, with a male lord who could be disciplined and listen to orders, the myth of the Jurchen being invincible began.

- People will find out that we are not the prototype of the Jurchens.

This series of ideological rectification has gone through a lot of attempts. And during this period, specialized training, enough food to fill the stomach, and after hard training, in such a collective. The perception of "getting stronger" is obvious: we are now. It's awesome!

At the same time, Aoki Village has been expanding and developing, although it often rubs and kills people with the outside world, but it is really a large-scale sortie. But not once. The blood bodhisattva is kind to others. It makes many people feel a little hungry and thirsty: these people in Luliang Mountain are different from the recruits in other places. They had all seen blood before, and they killed several people for a bite to eat. It's a normal thing. The lack of food and the toughness of Qingmu Village made them learn discipline, learn discipline, and feel that they are more powerful, but they can't go out, just like the pearl casting the dark, brocade clothes walking at night, watching the other mountains of Luliang Mountain all kinds of jumping, it is really unpleasant.

And this time, the Jurchens didn't come, and the people from the other mountains really jumped over.

Since there are not many people to be dispatched, Cao Qianyong, Han Jing and others have been mobilizing for the first few days: "Think about your purpose! Think how much more trained you guys are than those guys out there! Look around you, you're strong! Outside the mountain, they are just a group of rabble who only rely on blood and bravery, and do not even have the strength to fight! You let them see blood, and they will turn around and run! Now, they actually dare to force us to come to Aoki Village, which is unreasonable! You've been waiting for a year, and now, it's time for the entire Luliang Mountain to open its eyes—"

After these mobilizations, the soldiers in the mountains were very enthusiastic, and in the brigade and squad, one or two were so excited that they died: "Boss, who do you want to kill......?"

"Boss, I know who to kill, I know a lot of people in that gang...... His mother's bunch of eggless people dare to join in the fun......"

"It's so cool to finally be able to go out and do it......"

In such an atmosphere, Hongti had to send a message to Cao Qianyong and Han Jing, asking them to give orders, and the people under them should try to be calm, not reckless or arrogant, remember the previous training, strategically can despise the enemy, and tactically pay attention to the enemy. And this order was naturally Ning Yi's indirect persuasion to Hongti.

As the first battle, he has no bottom in his heart, but it is right to be cautious. And even if the people below are like chicken blood, Cao Qianyong and Han Jing, the leaders of the village, have enough vigilance in their hearts. That night, when a bonfire was lit in the Juyi Hall, they dragged more than 1,200 people out, and they also discussed the strategy of the battle very strictly: which part of the people should be attacked first, which team should capture the thief first, and how to intersperse, echo, and cooperate with each other. After such careful planning, they joined up with the two hundred men who had come down from the back hill to escort the elm cannons, and the final lineup was 1,400 to 6,000.

Seven miles away from Qingmu Village, the mountain range called Huochuan Ridge is full of bonfires and military formations, the "Black Skull King" Luan San Wolf is in the center, the team of Chen Jiaqu led by the "King of Chaoshan Mountain" Chen Zhenhai is in the front of the left, and the team of the Fang Yiyang brothers is high in the mountains, a little bit to the right, but they have the most horse teams in the formation. In the middle, there are a large number of Luliang retail households, as well as more than 600 people who were arranged on the side of Luan Sanwolf, who originally belonged to Xiao Xiangma.

The firelight spread all over the mountains, facing the square array of more than 1,400 people, and the two sides faced each other silently. Although Luan Sanwolf and the others also sent envoys to chat with Cao Qianyong and Han Jing, they were still waiting for the decision of Aoki Zhai and pressed their feelings.

Compared with the slightly quiet lineup of 1,400 people in Aoki Village, the 6,000 allied troops on Huochuan Ridge seemed to be particularly emotional, and many retail households lit bonfires, barbecued meat, sang, drank, wiped steel knives, and looked at the people of Aoki Village below with a contemptuous gaze. Luan Sanwolf and the others occasionally went over to have fun with some of them, and as long as they could get rid of Aoki Village, this party was the best time for them to increase their influence. Among them, some people spoke loudly and provoked this side, and even a few groups of people fought because of each other's quarrels, causing a small riot on the ridge.

Cao Qianyong, Han Jing and others looked solemn, and they were a little annoyed by some people's provocations.

Until the fireworks went off on the Aoki Village, and then another firework came in relay from miles away. Even if the people on the mountain ridge don't understand this, they can guess that it is a signal from Aoki Village, and they draw their swords in the middle of the roar of the mountain, and the torches are restless and convergent like an ocean. And at this end, Han Jing had a gloomy face, and whispered to the people around him: This is the first battle ......" He took out a piece of paper in his hand and glanced at it, he had always felt a little messy and ashamed of what was not originally advertised on the paper, but at this time. But it was said naturally.

"Combat name: Assault on children. Begin. ”

This mobilization order was certainly not written by Red Ti...... He thought to himself. And on the side. Cao Qianyong rode his horse and raised his sword, and the tiger roared.

"Aoki Koro has it all! Whatever I ...... Stomp them to death—"

The next moment, the roar of Luan Sanwolf and others came from the ridge: "Rush!" Eat them—"

It was almost shaking, and the figures were surging. In the lineup of Aoki Village. The men in the front row fired only a flurry of arrows. The companions in the rear were already shouting and running out in a frenzy, and those with bows and arrows then took their bows and arrows and drew their swords to follow.

It looks like the same morale. The soldiers were in front of each other, and all the figures dissolved together, making it impossible to distinguish the crazy fight between the camps......

Cao Qianyong, Han Jing and others worked hard to identify the people on their side in the battle formation, trying to see the advantages and disadvantages of the battle situation. Not long after—about five minutes in terms of Ning Yi's timing—there was a light that began to shoot out and explode on the side of the battle array, which was the secret weapon that came because of Ning Yi. And after two so long years, the development of Qiē caught people a little off guard......

"Purge the formation! Purge the formation! Whose team is running to the hill - don't rush in, let me go and stop them, don't rush in! Don't fall for the trap! Who's on the right! Why did they rush into the woods—I'm cāo! Give me back—"

"The third brigade! The third brigade, Qi Qianjun! Why are they still rushing forward? Your mother...... What are you doing...... What the? Before, let them cooperate with the fifth team? The gang that ran over the ridge was from the Fifth Brigade? Zheng Shishi's gang, they are fully responsible for what happened! thought that his father was the second master of the village and could mess around! I'm going to sue his father for this, I'm going to tell his father about this, so that they don't go in - why did you bring me a head, who's-"

"Fang Fang-"

"Fang, your mother-"

"Fang Yiyang's ......"

"Ga ......"

On the huge battlefield, when they could see the scene clearly, Cao Qianyong, Han Jing and others suddenly found that their command was like a landslide, and they were so anxious that they jumped to their feet and their eyes were red. However, if you do a review of the whole situation, the whole scene is so weird that people can't speak.

Originally, it seemed that they were charging each other full of blood, and the morale on both sides was extremely high - of course, because of the intuitive appearance, there were not many people on their side, and the people in Aoki Village were still nervous, and because of this, at the beginning of the battle, they fought hard to the front. The current military system of Aoki Village is very simple - because Ning Yi is just "making an analogy" in the book and writing it simply, so the step-by-step Aoki Village is basically a naïve arrangement of five people for a group, ten for a squad, thirty for a squadron, and a hundred for a brigade - because there are people all around, as the captain of each brigade, he can't see what the situation is, anyway, according to the predetermined plan, just go forward and kill with all his might.

When they reacted slightly, they found that the people on their side cut into the mountains of the Luliang Bandit Coalition like cutting tofu......

Especially after the cannon was fired, under the magnificent light and shadow effect, the 600 people who were originally in the center of the coalition army, belonging to the former Xiao Xiangma's men, suddenly mutinied, and many people shouted "Demon magic is coming again...... turned around and ran. And for the people in Aoki Village, many people still don't know what is going on, especially a brigade chasing after these hundreds of people, shouting "stop and die for me", running the fastest, but not many people are killed. Their morale was high, and then a team of rescue heroes descended from the sky and tried to stop them, and by the time they saw clearly, a big man on horseback had already shouted: "Who dares to fight with our Yiyang!" "Coming head-on.

The momentum of the two sides was like waves crashing on a reef, Fang Yiyang rode his horse and crossed the knife, and the most powerful members of Qingmu Village in front of this team couldn't think much about it at all, they rushed straight up, and handed over the move at the same time, the move that matched was taught by Hongti Pingsu, and then I don't know why, after Fang Yiyang flew a person, he was cut off the horse, and when his subordinates behind rushed over, Fang Yiyang himself was already overwhelmed by the surging crowd, and then he was trampled to death.

For Luan Sanwolf and others, the scene in front of them was definitely the most bizarre experience, and some of his core subordinates were still strong. But the charge of the coalition forces was like a tidal wave, after washing them ashore, the water's edge quickly receded, and when they reacted, the three hundred-man teams of Aoki Village had already begun to gnaw around them, and Chen Zhenhai's men and horses turned around and flew. In the distance, Han Jing scolded angrily in the dark, Luan Sanwolf didn't understand what he was still scolding, who the hell won this, what the hell is going on now......

The situation of the entire battlefield, just in such a boiling and weird way, lost control incomparably gorgeously...... (To be continued......)
